Deal Run vs DealCheck: Full Pipeline vs Calculator Only

DealCheck is one of the most popular deal analysis tools in real estate investing, with over 350,000 users. It helps you evaluate whether a property is a good deal through ARV calculations, rental cash flow projections, BRRRR analysis, and flip profit calculators. It does this one thing well.

Deal Run covers the core analysis a wholesaler needs — comp analysis, repair estimation, MAO calculation — though not DealCheck's long-range rental projections, and then goes further by helping you actually sell the deal. Buyer identification, skip tracing, deal marketing pages, and email outreach are all built into the same platform.

The analysis gap

DealCheck tells you whether a property is worth pursuing. It answers "Should I buy this?" But it never answers "Who do I sell it to?" That second question is where most new wholesalers get stuck. They can evaluate deals all day, but converting those evaluations into closed assignments requires a completely different set of tools.

Feature comparison

DealCheck as a stepping stone

DealCheck is often the first paid tool a new wholesaler uses. It's affordable (free, or Plus from $10 and Pro from $20 a month billed yearly, higher month-to-month), easy to learn, and focuses on the analysis fundamentals. For someone learning how to evaluate deals, it's a solid starting point.

The natural progression is: learn to analyze deals (DealCheck) → learn to sell deals (Deal Run). DealCheck users are already pre-qualified — they understand deal analysis and are ready for the next step of actually finding buyers and closing assignments.

When DealCheck is enough

DealCheck is sufficient if you're still learning deal evaluation, doing occasional buy-and-hold analysis for personal investments, or working with a team that handles disposition separately. Its 35-year buy-and-hold projections and BRRRR analysis are useful for long-term rental investors who don't need disposition tools.

When you've outgrown it

If you're actively wholesaling — getting deals under contract and needing to find buyers quickly — DealCheck leaves you with spreadsheets and manual processes for the most critical part of the business. Deal Run provides flip, rental and wholesale analysis plus the disposition side for $99/mo on Analyze + Sell.

Deal Run at a glance

Deal Run (our product) is web and iPhone software for wholesalers and small investors. You enter an address and it runs MLS-grade comps, ARV, a repair estimate from the property's photos and a max offer, then lists local landlords and flippers who recently bought near the property, skip-traces them and sends the deal from your own Gmail.

Plans: Analyze, $29/mo, covers deal analysis plus one lifetime disposition deal with up to 100 buyers, the closest match to DealCheck's paid plans. Analyze + Sell is $99/mo, or $83/mo billed annually, with 15 disposition deals a month and 100 skip-traced buyers per deal. Or pay per deal: $2 to analyze, $20 with 100 buyers. There are no free trials. See pricing.

What it doesn't do: 35-year rental projections, SMS sending (texts open on your own phone), seller lead lists, a dialer or direct mail. It keeps a buyer list rather than a full CRM. Deal Run is made by Deal Run LLC in Houston, Texas; see our trust page.

The bottom line

DealCheck tells you IF a property is a good deal. Deal Run tells you that AND helps you find who to sell it to. If you're only analyzing deals for personal investment decisions, DealCheck (free, or from $10 or $20 a month billed yearly) is a good fit. If you're wholesaling and need to go from analysis to closed assignment, Deal Run covers the full pipeline.
